Chapter 5, Garbled Text

In the past two months, the five games that experienced issues and ended prematurely can be said to be entirely due to him

The recently concluded game "Magical World: Fundamentals" is just like that

[Note: Open it! Open it! This box whispers in your ear, open it, and it may change your destiny!]

Purpose: Can incubate first-tier pet eggs, instantly complete the incubation, and has a very small chance of allowing the hatched pet to advance or become stronger

Total Score: 63090, Ranked 1027 among all participating players

Another low-level pet incubator... The probability of this item appearing is too high, right? Including the ones in the home storage, there are three now, right? The Fate Magic Box, isn't this the so-called super trap that claims anyone who uses it is a fool?

Rating details

According to the scores and rankings, you have earned 820 home points, 1307 home silver coins, and you can draw two boxes as rewards from the following ten boxes

The silver treasure chest and the gold treasure chest will yield items of at least excellent and rare quality, with a significant increase in the probability of obtaining exceptional items

Chen Bing wore a worried expression

[System: You have opened the bronze treasure chest and obtained the "Fate Magic Box"! ]

Gazing at the row of bronze treasure chests before him, Chen Bing could not help but spit out blood, as the hard work and effort he had invested for so long had turned into futile labor.

Type: Ordinary Consumable

A total of 437 victories were achieved in the arena, earning a 100 consecutive wins achievement, with a reward of 18,650 points

Chen Bing cast a glance and felt that his face was as dark as it could be

Description: Common pet incubators are of low value, so even if you accidentally lose one, there is no need to feel distressed, as you can quickly obtain a brand new one

He initially used a cheap second-hand virtual headset. Chen Bing speculated that the issue lay with the virtual headset, so he rented a nearly new virtual headset from the game store, which was unlikely to have any problems

As he anticipated, there was an issue with the settlement scoring, with a number of master-level and grandmaster-level skills receiving a score of zero. In addition, there were discrepancies in the data for all other scoring items, with varying degrees of data rollback.

Game: "Magical World: Basics"

Completed 125 E-level tasks, 77 D-level tasks, 23 C-level tasks, 12 B-level tasks, 3 A-level tasks, with a reward of 17,660 points

Matters concerning the body should not be taken lightly; it would be fine if one were to transform into Ultraman, but the fear lies in becoming a Ninja Turtle, turning green from head to toe

Using 1,000 Home Points to open a negative state would truly be a significant loss

What on earth is this, truly unreliable, even garbled text has appeared

Feeling that the private hospital would not be able to find anything, Chen Bing ultimately decided to go for an examination at the hospital.

... ...

Sister, the Divine Blessing set has been obtained. If it weren't for the game issues, the first place would have been mine. First place allows you to open three golden treasure chests, and with a bit of luck, you might even draw an equipment item from the game

Acquired 18 pieces of gold equipment, 4 pieces of dark gold equipment, 3 special items, 1364 coins, and 14990 points in rewards

The settlement is complete, and Chen Bing looks at the settlement page with a pained expression, his heart bleeding

Chen Bing could not help but speculate

Is it possible to bring it back home: Yes

Level 68, Reward 11,790 points

Note: You have brought out 3 "Sunflower Seeds", 1 "Witching Night I" game voucher, and 2 points of homestead reputation from the game. The items and rewards brought out from the game do not participate in the reward settlement

1,000 home points is quite a lot. Just now, after the game settlement, Chen Bing only earned 820 home points, bringing the total home points to just over 4,000

Other players believe that the virtual game has only recently been launched, that the technology is not yet mature, and that the issue is with the server

First-tier pet eggs are not difficult to obtain, but the painful experiences of countless predecessors serve as a warning to those who come after: it is best not to hatch low-level pet eggs without reason. Pets hatched within the home garden, unless you can find other players to take them over, will require a significant investment of effort and resources to raise them to adulthood before they can be released, in order to free up space in the pet slots

Quality: Ordinary

Chen Bing glanced around and casually tapped a couple of times.

The copper treasure chest is the lowest level of treasure chest, but that does not mean that it cannot yield good items. If luck is extraordinary, a copper treasure chest can also produce exceptional treasures

These negative states will not easily disappear, but will persist until the next game. Only by completing specific tasks within the next game will the states be eliminated

The settlement page had long displayed ten identical bronze treasure chests, and Chen Bing hesitated for a long time without making a selection, while the system prompted him to hurry up.

On the game forum where he was researching, someone opened a bronze treasure chest and obtained the home building "Spring of Life", which is a super rare item that is difficult to obtain even from a gold treasure chest, causing countless players to be envious

Could it be that before leaving the military, during the last mission to destroy that laboratory in Africa, I was affected by some kind of radiation, resulting in health issues?

... ...

What can be obtained from completely random extraction is beyond his control

Although he went to serve in the military for five years after graduation and has forgotten much of the knowledge that is no longer useful, he was once an academic achiever, a top student from Haidong University, and the essential knowledge he should know will not be forgotten

[Role: *****]

[Item: Fate Magic Box]

Entering the game using a virtual gaming pod also leads to game crashes, it seems the issue lies with my body

After opening the treasure chest normally, the player would exit the virtual space and return to reality. However, Chen Bing unexpectedly discovered that he did not exit immediately, and a line of green text appeared before him.

No skill information, reward 0 points

Quality: Ordinary

However, Chen Bing casually took a screenshot and saved it to the home mailbox

You have opened the bronze treasure chest and obtained a "Low-level Pet Incubator"

However, the reality is not as such. This time, Chen Bing has thoroughly confirmed that the issue lies not with the game server, but with his own body

Starting the game several steps behind others, by the time the negative status is lifted and one can play normally, it is already unknown how many levels one has fallen behind others

Should we go for a physical examination? But that doesn't seem right; after returning from that mission, everyone underwent a thorough check-up, and no issues were found. The equipment in the Ninth Field Army is the most advanced in the country; if the military couldn't detect anything, civilian hospitals are even less likely to find anything. Damn, they say that the Ultraman from Japan mutated due to radiation; I hope I won't turn into Ultraman.

Reward Settlement

Opening the fate box requires the expenditure of 1,000 home points. There is indeed a possibility of obtaining good items inside, but the greater likelihood is to receive various negative statuses

Fortunately, the "Sunflower Seeds" and the "Witch's Night I" vouchers were successfully brought out of the game, and the rare 2 points of homestead reputation are still intact; otherwise, this time I would have truly suffered a significant loss.

The ten-second countdown has ended

System: The game has ended, now entering the reward settlement page

He is doing well; similarly, with the copper treasure chest, not only did he not obtain any exceptional items, but he also ended up with two worthless pieces that no one wants

Is it possible to bring it back home: Yes

No requirements

Chen Bing continuously opened these two items, and it would not be an exaggeration to say he is unlucky. At the very least, he could have opened some home silver coins, which can be used to build his home and can also be used to purchase game items from the home store and other players. These are far better than these two worthless items

Carrying around a useless pet will only become a burden to oneself; apart from sharing the experience points for leveling up, it can only be used to act cute—provided that the pet you have can still be cute.

Unless you are certain that the pet you are hatching is of the highest quality, do not hatch pet eggs lightly

Item: Low-level Pet Incubator

System: Please draw two boxes from the following ten boxes as rewards

Two treasure chests, one contained a somewhat damaged white spherical device, which is a low-level pet incubator, while the other contained a worn black box

However, compared to the silver treasure chest and the gold treasure chest, the bronze treasure chest still falls significantly short

However, all these characters are garbled. Chen Bing can barely recognize a few letters that resemble English, but the meaning of these garbled letters strung together is unclear. Chen Bing feels that no one would be able to understand them.

Very few people choose to hatch first-tier pets. Low-level pet incubators are not rare; they can even be refreshed in the home store, with a purchase price of 1,000 home silver coins. Apart from the initial phase of the game when some players would buy them, now hardly anyone wants them. After all, the limitation of pet slots for players restricts the hatching of pets. It is not the case that acquiring a large number of incubators will lead to the repeated hatching of exceptional pets.

Chen Bing then stroked his chin in contemplation

【 ηζεικλ : μποξνρφΑΕσχΒΖτψΓΗυωΔΘΦΡΝΙΚΣΞΛΟ 】

Initially, Chen Bing, like other players, thought it was an issue with the game server. However, after experiencing game crashes following bugs in two consecutive games, he began to sense that something was amiss

Requirement: 1000 Home Points

However, the next two games continued to experience issues. Chen Bing, undeterred by misfortune, decided to play the game "Magic World: Basics" using the club's advanced virtual gaming pod at the most popular gaming club at the moment.

... ...

Type: Portable Treasure Chest

"Homeland" has been in internal testing for two years and in public testing for two years, yet I have never heard of anyone encountering bugs. How is it that he encounters them continuously as soon as he plays?

This is not the first time; this situation is all too familiar, and he is quite experienced.

As for the "Fate Magic Box," this item is indeed a tremendous pitfall

In these five different virtual games, Chen Bing will inevitably encounter bugs in the games that have them, and even in those without bugs, he will manage to exploit them, leading to issues with the game servers

Yet in the end, the game could not escape its fate and was once again ruined by him
